[When Jesus for His murderers prays]
Father, forgive them; for they know not, &c.
—xxiii. 34.
When Jesus for His murderers prays,
Can God reject the dying prayer?
Thou must forgive our ransom'd race;
Thou dost our world of ruffians spare:
The pardon bought by blood Divine
Hath surely pass'd the seals of heaven;
Father, Thou art in Jesus mine,
And all the world's with me forgiven.
